    I’m trying to figure out my options. Almost done with my one year at a mega. It’s been rough here. Not earning enough for all the hours I put in. Currently OTR reefer division.

    Here’s what I’m looking for ideally:

    Recommendations for trucking companies to work for that:
    • pay hourly minimum $25 an hour and overtime pay after 8 hours or after 40 hours.
    • Day shift.
    • I don't mind being out 4-5 days regional. Local or semi local is also an option. (Still open to OTR if the home time is flexible.)
    • Want to get into tanker (fuel or food grade) preferably.
    • I currently live in Southern California. I'm open to moving somewhere else if it's a really good opportunity. Specifically have been looking into moving to Michigan.
    • Working on my hazmat, soon to have one year experience.
    • Would much prefer a company that offers a sleeper cab but not necessary.
    • Trying to work 5 days a week or 6 on occasion.
    Are there any jobs out there that meet these criteria or am I asking for too much?

    I just want to be paid fairly for all the hours I work.

    (I hope I’m posting this in the right place. If not, please move the thread to the correct area.)

    Any recommendations and helpful insights are greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you!!!!

    Not really. It's snowing sure, but it's not that heavy of a snow storm.
    The killer was the ice this morning before the snow hit.
